Mauritius

Brief Overview

A public health regulation prohibits the sale, offer for sale and/or distribution of products that look like tobacco or cigarettes. While non-cigalike e-cigarettes may or may not fall under this regulation, it doesn’t prohibit the use or possession of e-cigarettes regardless.

Having said that, there are no known stores in Mauritius so purchasing is most likely not possible anyway.

In regards to using e-cigarettes you may have brought into the country, we suggest that you at least abide by current smoking laws until further information is gathered from the embassy. (Available in the tab below)

Register for updates below as more information should be available shortly.
